SPB Backup on a smartphone?

Does anyone know if SPB Backup will work on a smartphone? If not, is there another backup program out out there where you can backup directly to a memory card?

If WM5 Smartphone, no it doesn't - there is none out there yet, I don't think. I believe SPB has it on their to-do, obviously, just not out yet.

If Wm2003 Smartphone then yes, Sprite Software has a version for Wm2003, I use it sucessfully on my MPX220. They are releasing the WM5 SP version "in the near future"

I'm not impressed with Sprite. I find their attitude towards the customer very poor. Take a tour of their forums and you'll see what I mean. There are lots of very upset customers.

As for SPB, I haven't heard anything, but I've sure made my them aware of my feelings. Wink

I do agree with Mike's analysis of Sprite. I've heard nothing but negative remarks about Sprite's support and customer attitude - too bad, the product isn't bad - quick way to get a company trashed and marginalized.

Luckily I never had issue with the software requiring support, so I can say it worked well for me.

I am a HUGE fan of the SPB products and they do look to be expanding their smartphone line, at least an email I have from Vassili, the CTO says that - just no firm date on any releases, nor what the products are.

I am confused as to why no firm has stepped forward and created a backup program for WM5 smartphones. Is there a problem in the architecture? The only thing I could see as an issue is carrier blocking of applications and/ or registry.

Most of us have figured our way around those issues. I would think this would be a burgeoning market, not to mention someone like HP could bulk buy the product and slap it on their devices like they did with a light edition of sprite.

im still a firm believer that microsoft dropped the ball by not having a backup program for WM5 smartphones (im unsure about PPCs) either bundled with the software CD you get with the phone or part of activesync Sad
